This week we saw a massive surge in bitcoin that simply dominated the entire cryptocurrency market. Today, it seems we’re experiencing a bit of a pullback. The is quite normal of course.

The scaling debate has been resolved by a much-needed, but still debated consensus regarding the BIP 91 protocol, propelling Bitcoin towards its all-time highs. The currency that has been pushed lower by...

I believe digital currencies incorporate future events in the same way stocks do, the release of earnings or the introduction of a new product will be reflected in pricing in many stocks 90 to 180 days before earnings are released or a new product generates sales, and the share price will reflect future events. Digital currencies are...

The SALT name is meaningful to us because it hearkens back to the time in history when table salt gained use as a store of value, becoming one of humanity’s first monies. By utilizing salt as a medium of exchange for food, clothing, and other general provisions, it was salt which broke the mold of what a currency could be –...

One week after our previous long-term look at cryptocurrencies, the major coins are still in correction mode, as they are working their way through the overbought readings that built up in the monster rally of this late spring.

A reader requested we look into the Bancor Protcol and related upcoming ICO, which is going to be based on Ethereum, as more and more new projects are. Ethereum, for what it’s worth, recently shot up over around $200 in value. This is no small feat for a coin which has experienced some serious problems, resulting in a major fork, early...

Bitcoin BTC led the decline at the end of last week, and the rebound also started when Bitcoin bounced off the $1875 support. Since then, the correlation between the coins broke down significantly and BTC has been drifting higher, hitting $2300 before today’s US session. While the rally was strong, caution is still the name of the game...

Bitcoin Bitcoin spiked down towards the first main support zone near $1875, and it’s currently trading above the $2000 level again. I expect more downside, but trading these bounces with small positions could be lucrative. The $2230 level could cap the current bounce. Ethereum ETH’s overnight minimum was around 110, a 40% top to bottom...

It was a busy day yesterday. Bitcoin and Ethereum stole the show for the most part; they sucked money out of the other coins as traders tried to chase the trades.
